Contemporary Adirondacks at one mellon center

PITTSBURGH, PA – December 31, 2008 — The Society for Contemporary Craft’s (SCC) satellite gallery at One Mellon Center features Adirondack chairs and green-design from January 16 through March 1, 2009.

The Adirondack III: Transformation and Reinvention, curated by Christopher Weiland and Steve Loar, opened at the University Museum of Indiana University of Pennsylvania in early spring of 2008, and included 33 chairs by students from 12 universities and colleges from across the country. Participants were challenged, “to revisit, explore, and redesign the century-old Adirondack chair.”

The exhibition at One Mellon Center presents a selection of chairs from the show that were designed by IUP students, along with four other student projects. The works featured represent a focus on green design developed through initiatives at CenterWorks, the Center for Turning’s professional development and business practice division. Through a series of models, sketches and documentary photographs viewers can learn about the student’s creative and green design processes. A catalogue documenting the complete exhibition is available in SCC’s Store and online for purchase for $10.

SCC is a nonprofit, visual arts organization that presents regional, national and international contemporary art in craft media. The satellite gallery is located in the “T” station lobby of One Mellon Bank Center and is open daily through midnight. For more information, visit www.contemporarycraft.org or contact Kati Fishbein at 412.261.7003 x 26.

Handmade Arcade Pittsburgh Art Festival November 8 and 9, 2008

After four amazing years at Construction Junction, Handmade Arcade is moving! Handmade Arcade 2008 will be held at the Hunt Armory in Shadyside (http://www.rahuntfdn.org/armory.shtml), just a short hop away from East Liberty and close to major bus lines. The Hunt Armory was built in 1916 and has had a long and varied history in Pittsburgh, having hosted everyone from Billy Graham to Led Zeppelin. We hope that this move will allow HA to really grow and continue to bring you all the best indie and DIY crafts Pittsburgh and beyond have to offer. And a huge thank you to Construction Junction (http://www.constructionjunction.org/) for being our home for four years. HA would not be what it is today without the support of the fine folks at Construction Junction.

Hunt Armory is located at 324 Emerson St, Pittsburgh, PA 15206.

Handmade Arcade is Pittsburgh’s largest indie craft fair, now in its fifth year. Last year, over 8,000 attended Handmade Arcade.
The annual Handmade Arcade was created to give grassroots, independent crafters an opportunity to show and sell their wares, and to provide an alternative to traditional craft and art fairs.

You’ll find innovative visual art, jewelry, scary and sweet stuffed creatures, knitted accessories, silk screened prints and tees, felted fashions, hand bound books, spun yarns, stationery, ‘zines, housewares and lots more.
